“Hot Spot” means :

Students placed on a “Hot Spot” or “Double Hot Spot” are required to sit in a designated area generally away from other student contact.

“Hot Spot” runs for the duration of morning tea time (10.40-11.00)

“Double Hot Spot” runs for the duration of morning tea and lunchtime (12.45 to 1.10). It may include eating lunch 12.30 – 12.45 in a ‘Hot Spot’ area.

Observation and any necessary supervisory intervention will be carried out by the quad duty teacher primarily and/or any other staff member as may be required.
